look beyond the masks

past lives or relationships
do we have the insight to recognize
as our subconscious naturally drifts
towards another

a bond of maybe lifetimes
pulling the strings of our life today

is this life an adventure
a mystery yet to be solved
as we unravel it one by one
in each lifetime like a costume party

where we feel the person
the sense of him
try to recognize and look beyond the masks

what makes us hesitate question stop to think
like parts of a dream fragmented coming back

or soul recognition in wonder and awe
self-deprecating rueful cynical maybe
but nevertheless irrefutable

where you simply can't help looking back
yet again.....
